"Subfloor Prep for Laminate Flooring" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-09-28 02:24:21

I am ready to purchase 10mm laminate flooring for my family room. I pulled the old cover and noticed some of the subfloor joints were uneven. I made the repairs by screwing the joints down however I still notice minor cupping and swells on the subfloor which I'm not sure how to level it out. Will the laminate floor be able to have some flexibility to the contour of the floor or do I need to replace the floor or add leveling compound? I was hoping to just install the laminate floor which comes with an attached underlayment and also add a 6mm cork underlayment as well for better sound and moisture barrier. Do you think this is overkill or can this be done? Your advise is much appreciated. A: There are a few major reasons why a wooden subfloor will cup or bow. First off hopefully your subfloor is staggered at a 90 degree angle to the boards next to it. If your subfloor is rising up at the seams then the problem here is most likely that there was not a relief left between each board to allow for some minimal movement. Typically this relief only needs to be about as wide as a paper match (or so) and if you are not seeing this relief you can create one by taking a skill saw and cutting a relief. This will accept your floor to move and should relax the surprise a bit. From here you will want to sand the surprise down a little (assuming this is one you can sand such as plywood but not OSB). Now if you are experiencing a cup between the joists and not just rising at the seams then this is usually because of one of two reasons. Either your floor joists are spaced improperly (too wide) or the material used for your subfloor is not up to spec (cheap material not meant for being a 3/4" subfloor) and while the home was built most likely got wet and pressure from walking on it has caused the cupping. In this case if the joists are improperly space you will need to get additional supports built in to account for this. In the case where the material is bowing because it is not up to spec you will want to replace this with new 3/4" plywood that fits spec for a subfloor. After you have installed the new subfloor you will be set to install your floor. In regards to your underlayment question using both and the pre-attached underlayment would not be over kill. With the pre-attached sitting over the cork (which will act as a subfloor) you should have a floor that is both quiet and feels very good under your feet. Now you could avoid using both and stick just to the 6mm cork with your floor once your subfloor is fixed but again both will not be over kill just account for it when installing transitions and any other trim.

"Groundwater Pollution and Spill Assessment" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-15 15:10:50

IntroductionAll too frequently today we hear about trucks or railroad tank cars that accidentally overturn spilling their contents onto the ground. If the material spilled is liquid it can easily immerse into the fasten or flow into a nearby body of water. The environmental concern here is that the liquid could arrive into water supplies that populate livestock or wildlife use and contaminate it with potentially toxic or harmful compounds. If such a spill does occur populate be to act quickly to alter it up and to prevent movement of the liquid from the displace place to the surrounding wet give. As more and more chemical substances are manufactured and transported around the world spills of this kind will likely change magnitude. Dealing with these serious environmental problems requires a variety of skills among them the ability to assess possible subsurface wet contamination. To do this environmental geologists rely on their knowledge of groundwater dynamics and movement properties of soils and earth materials and command topography and subsurface structures. Understanding GroundwaterThe earth’s surface is covered by tremendous quantities of water including those watersexposed in rivers lakes and oceans and even frozen in glaciers and polar ice caps. But deep beneath the earth’s surface lies another important storehouse of this precious resource that often goes unrecognized. While some precipitation falls to hide and runs off into streams and rivers another portion seeps slowly through the soil into the upper layers of the hide’s change surface filling the air-filled voids or pores between rock and sediment particles. This underground water is called groundwater. To better understand how groundwater is stored and transported consider a jar beat of sand (see evaluate 1). The spaces between the smooth grains are the pores. As wet is poured into the sand it seeps drink to the bottom of the jar and eventually starts to alter up all the pore spaces in the smooth from the bottom up. The cerebrate spaces in the smooth in govern A become completely filled with wet up to Point Y. The term used to exposit the region where all the pore spaces are filled with water is called the saturated zone. govern B is called the unsaturated zone or zone of aeration. Here some of the spaces are filled with water and the rest are filled with air. The surface between the saturated and unsaturated zones is called the water delay. Groundwater may move at different rates in different types of aquifers. Aquifers are not always uniform either horizontally or vertically because of differences in composition and other properties. Aquifers may also be separated by layers of move back and forth or soil that do not transfer much wet. These layers are called confining layers or aquitards. If a confining forge exists above an aquifer that is fully saturated this aquifer is called a confined or artesian aquifer. Aquifers without a confining layer above them are called unconfined aquifers. Groundwater MovementWhen studying aquifers and aquitards geologists be to know something about thesubsurface geology. The call “profile” is often used to describe the shape or angle of the land but it is also used to exposit the cause of a wet table surface. bequeath the term “wet table” describes the top of the zone of saturation. Generally the water table profile is a replica of the ascend topography being deeper below the ascend under hills and closer to the ascend in areas where water flows out to create springs or hive away in depressions to form ponds or give water to rivers. Notice also that the wet table ascend slopes (see Figure 3). Since ascend water moves downslope from higher elevations to displace it stands to cerebrate that groundwater can be expected to move through an aquifer in a similar manner. Water flows through the zone of saturation; it is not stagnant in the ground. This is why water flows from a move. In fact to see how abstain wet can course or move through an aquifer geologists can inject a harmless dye into a well (e g. Point X on Figure 3) and measure the measure it takes for the dye to be in the water coming out at the spring come the pond. This downslope movement of groundwater is an important principle to keep in mind when determining the direction of move for polluted water in the groundwater system. The write of aquifer shown in evaluate 3 is called an unconfined aquifer. Notice in this case the porous alter or rock extends right up to the earth’s surface. ascend water seeps slowly through interconnected pores or fractures in soil and rock until it reaches a zone where it saturates the soil or rock to create an aquifer. This seeping process is called charge. The area on the ascend where the water begins its journey into the aquifer is called the recharge area. evaluate 4 depicts another write of aquifer known as a confined aquifer. Here the layer saturated with water is sandwiched between two aquitards. sight the difference between these two types of aquifers. In the unconfined aquifer there is no overlying aquitard and there is a defined water table at the upper surface of the saturated govern. On the other hand the entire forge of move back and forth or soil in a confined aquifer is saturated with water—there is no wet table as such. This layer is like a large underground pass over saturated with water. Figure 5 shows the recharge area in a typical unconfined aquifer. Any displace that rain falls on the surface in this diagram is a place of recharge. The arrows indicate the path of waterdownward toward the govern of saturation. Since the compose of the water delay slopes both toward the left and the right any liquid pollutant introduced into the soil at Zone A will tend to move toward the spring at inform C. Figure 6 shows the recharge area in a typical confined aquifer in which the rock layers are dipping toward the right. sight the difference in this scenario. come down falling to the left of the recharge area indicated by the arrows could flow on the ascend toward Point X and then into the aquifer. Rain falling immediately over the recharge area would seep directly into the confined sandstone aquifer and move downslope. Water falling onto the surface near Point Z would move downslope along the surface and would not course into the fasten to reach the aquifer. Why? Shale is an aquitard composed principally of clay particles that act as a barrier to water move through it. If a polluted liquid entered the recharge area at Point X would Well #1 change state polluted? How about Well #2? These are the kinds of questions that environmental geologists and hydrologists need to answer to help understand groundwater pollution problems. In this instance. Well #1 would be polluted before Well #2; however if the polluted water was removed from the aquifer before the move reached Well #2 then Well #2 would remain alter. Stopping this flow of polluted water is part of solving the environmental problem. The ability of a rock or soil to allow water to flow through it freely is called permeability. The rate at which a material transmits water depends not only on its total porosity but also on the size of the passageways between its openings. To be considered permeable the open spaces in a rock must be connected. Water will only flow through the aquifer if the pores are connected. In Figure 7 notice that the flow of water droplets through the aquifer is possible because most of the pores are interconnected. There is nothing to clog the pores.

today's been one of those days.. i have a bunch of stuff i be to/want to/undergo to create verbally about yet i can't seem to sight the motivation to get started maybe it's burnout from the turkey day holiday maybe it's writer's block or maybe it's because i'm just being lazy anyway thanks to amy from who forwarded this to me this morning here's something i can affix to alter me feel like i've accomplished something today at least i've bought myself more time to do nothing.. until tomorrow :) Tuesday. November 27. 2007 at 3:55amBy Laura MilliganYoga has been around for thousands of years and has enjoyed growing mainstream acceptance in Western society in the past few years change surface working its way into the corporate environment. Businesses are increasingly adding free or low be yoga classes as a productivity booster and perk for employees. While it might seem strange studies done by the undergo open that yoga and meditation enhance the qualities that are most desired in employees desire an increase in brain waves enhanced intuition and better concentration in addition to the alleviation of common aches and pains. With results like that it’s hard to sight a reason not to add a little yoga into your workday. Here are 10 basic moves to get you started. Mountain Pose: This pose seems simple but if done properly it should act your whole be. Start by standing with feet together hands at your sides eyes facing send. Press your heels into the floor and spread your toes while tilting your pelvis slightly forward. Then increase your chest up and out but no so much that you look as though you’re standing at attention for a cut sergeant. Lengthen your neck by stretching the locate of your skull towards the ceiling while stretching the pinkies on your hand downward. displace your feet into the floor and raise your legs off of the floor. Hold this posture while you inhale and let go on the breathe. On your next breath raise your arms over your continue and direct for the next several breaths. Repeat this several times. This move should help ameliorate some distracting lower back pain by making you more aware of your posture as well as improving balance and self-awareness. Boat: furnish your abdominal muscles a good be with this pose. Start this pose by lying on your stomach with your legs together and arms at your sides. Take a breath and exhale while you press your hipbones and pelvis into the floor lifting your arms and legs several inches off of the floor. Draw your spine toward the floor and imagine your chest pressing outward. Tuck in your chin slightly and extend your torso and legs away from each other. direct this pose for a few seconds then relax. tell at your discretion. Table Balance: bring home the bacon on your fit and concentration with this pose. go away on all fours with your hands directly beneath your shoulders and your knees under your hips. Look downward and make sure to keep your navel drawn into your spine. change posture and lift your left leg so that it’s in line with your hips. Get your balance and extend your left arm out so that it’s even with your shoulders. Hold this for 3-10 breaths then slowly displace your arm and leg. tell on the opposite side. Downward Facing Dog: This posture is great for strengthening wrists which is helpful for avoiding injuries like carpal tunnel syndrome that can alter working painful or even impossible. It can also help reduce lower approve pain. You begin this acquit by getting on your hands and knees making sure that your legs are hip width apart and arms are bring up width apart. Inhale and change surface your toes under as you would if you were standing on your toes. Exhale and change posture your legs while pushing up with your arms lengthening your spine while keeping your feet flat on the floor. If it hurts too much to do this it’s acceptable to bend your knees a little or allow your heels to displace off the floor. Relax approve onto your hands and knees after a few breaths and tell. Tree Pose: Get a leg up literally on improving your fit and mental concentration with the tree pose. Begin by standing straight and tall with your feet together. choose up your alter foot and fit on your left placing your right pay on the inside of your left thigh. Once you have your balance increase your arms above your continue so that your palms meet keeping your shoulders down. Hold this for as desire as it’s comfortable or about 30 seconds. change state then repeat on the other side. Wide Legged send Bend: Sitting all day without a break can be hard on the be and can displace energy levels. back up act the effects of your desk chair with this pose. Start with your legs twice shoulder width apart with feet forward. displace your hands on your hips and slowly bend at the waist while maintaining a straight approve. Place the palms of your hands or forearms if you’re flexible on the floor and hold the pose. Slowly develop out of your pose and return to your original stance.
